Over 470 schools recently participated in the above national competition. They were required to highlight and promote their city / village by writing a poem to accompany a creative photograph of their city/ village.

Their selection committee chose 15 winners nationally and amazingly two of these winners were pupils of Star College : Zahra Kara ( Gr11) and Charlize Chetty ( Gr8).

Congratulations to these two girlson this outstanding achievement,pictured here receiving their vouchers and certification at a special assembly held on 15 March 2018.

Star College submitted two Grade 10 teams to participate in this year's Team Talking Competition hosted by the Rotery Club and The Daily News.
First
Our team comprised:
1. Juwariyah Khan
2. Ukhona Cele
3. Theevasha Naidoo
And
Our second team consisted of:
1.Yuthvi Behari
2. Fathima Moola
3. Diya Ulassi
After weeks of rehearsing and preparing our teams were ready to present their topics at WGHS on 8 March. Team spoke on : Democracy in South Africa and Team 2 spoke about Cyberbullying.
Our teams were surprised to discover that most of the learners against whom they were competing were Grade 11 and Grade 12 learners but they did not let this daunt them. Both teams went on to present their talks in front of a panel of 3 adjudicators. At about 6.00 pm the adjudicators presented their decisions. And guess what the Star College Team actually achieved a commendable Third Position - just 2 points behind WGHS ( Matrics!!!).
Our teams were also afforded an opportunity to meet and interact with learners from other schools and share "wits" with them.
A big thank you to Mr. Bezuidenhout and Mrs.Aslan who encouraged and supported our teams all the way. ... See more

Over the past two weeks our Star College Girls were afforded the opportunity to listen to top professionals in the following fields:
1. Medicine
2. Law
3. Optometry
4.Industrial Engineering
5. Instrumentation Mechanics

The talks were not only well- presented by professionals with hands- on experience but all of them gave our learners the opportunity to put forward pertinent questions.
The School would like to thank the parents who presented their careers to our learners and for giving up their valuable time to give our girls more insight into these vocations. ... See more
